I am a contemporary historian working in the Hispanic Studies Department within the School of Modern Languages and joined Cardiff University in 2002 from the Department of History at Queen Mary, University of London. Prior to this, I spent seven years in the city of Barcelona, where I completed my doctorate. My research has centred on Catalan history in the 20th century and in particular, the political articulation of Catalan nationalism under both the Franco dictatorship and democratic Spain. My current research is centred on the emergence of pro-independence mobilisation in Catalonia and I have completed a research monograph for Routledge on this subject.. In November 2016 I was a writer-in-residence at the Faber Residency, Olot and will be leading a residential project on Nationalism at Faber in September 2018.
I am on the Editorial Board of the journal Dictatorship and Democracies.
I teach courses on the modern and contemporary history of Spain, as well as on Basque, student and labour protest culture in Spain for a School-wide module and, co-ordinate a post-graduate pathway on ‘Nationalism in Europe’.
I am Programme Director for the Hispanic Studies Department.
I lead the School Research Unit centred on Conflict, Disaster and Development.
I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students on any area of modern Catalan history and politics, nationalism in Spain and theoretical approaches to nationalism.
